RoboJawn FRC

RoboJawn FRC 2026

RoboJawn is Philadelphia’s premier FIRST Robotics Competition offseason event - a full weekend of high-level play, big moments, and one last run before the season closes out.

Hosted by FRC Team 321 and FRC Team 1218 at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy, RoboJawn brings teams together from across the region and beyond for a competition built to maximize time on the field and raise the level of play.

For our first year hosting this event, we're targeting 28 teams - and we don't want this to be a locals-only event. RoboJawn is about finishing the season the right way. For seniors, it’s one last time behind the glass. For teams, it’s a chance to run it back, push a little further, and see what your robot can really do.

We’ll also host an Impact Exchange facilitated by experienced Impact judges and mentors from Hall of Fame team 321. The exact format is still being determined, but we want to continue to promote transparency and excellence on and off the field.

When the matches wrap on Saturday, we’re taking it outside for a Philly block party - good food, good vibes, and a chance to hang out with teams from all over.
